John,
Last night, we lost a champion in the fight for justice and gender equality: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Justice Ginsburg was a giant in the fight for equality and civil rights -- she embodied everything that our movement stands for. We stand on the accomplishments of her life's work that have continued to amplify the need to protect and expand equal rights for women and underserved communities. And we celebrate women having a voice in the workforce while also having the ability to make decisions for their own health and wellbeing because of the work of Justice Ginsburg.
This is not a moment to be politicized -- instead, we reflect on the heroic, feminist voice Justice Ginsburg offered, and the influence of empowerment she instilled in each and every one of us.
We owe it to Justice Ginsburg to continue the fight for justice and equality for all.
Even to the end of her life, she remained committed to our affirmation:
that none of us are free, until we are all free.
Thank you, Justice Ginsburg, for a remarkable life, career, and for championing what's right. We will remember your life and continue the work for freedom and justice.
In love and solidarity,
Patrisse Cullors
